This course is designed as an introduction to modern German
history, society, and culture; the emphasis will be on
developments since 1870 and on general patterns such as the
pluralism of German cultures and states, the German path to
modernization, the special role of geography and foreign
policy in German history, and the major issues raised by
unification. It uses a unique blend of historical and
literary materials to provide a broad picture of Germany as
it is today and its historical roots.
